At The Ohio State University College of Medicine annual education symposium (AES) in January, attendees got to experience EdTech Incubator 3D printing and VR demonstrations, as well as talk to the experts in those technologies.

The focus of AES 2023 was "post-pandemic pedagogy for health sciences education." In addition to ETI demonstrations, AES included research poster presentations as well as other breakout topics focused on teaching and learning.

Construction on the EdTech Incubator (ETI) Recording Studio will begin the week of February 6, 2023, kicking off the next phase of Incubator development.

The ETI Recording Studio will be located in Prior Hall 460A, next to the 460B Computer Lab.

Demolition and framing activities may generate more noise in adjacent areas in the Health Sciences Library. Please look for signage in library spaces, and email HSLInfo@osumc.edu if you have questions about the renovation timeline or the impact the renovation might have on library spaces.

In late July, professionals in the health care field visited The James-Comprehensive Cancer Center and the EdTech Incubator to learn more about applying 3D printing to surgery. Participants spent time in the Tech-Equipped Classroom (TEC), watched a surgery virtually, and had hands-on time in the 3D printing lab.

Email the Incubator at eti@osumc.edu if you'd like to explore programming for your group.
